MAN MOVES ONWARD AND UPWARD.

1t was wonderful showing that Glad
stone made of England's progress in the
last fifty years in reviewing Tennyson's
new "LOcksley Hail." 1t is enough to
cheer the hearts of mankind everywhere
to read the record, undisputed that En-
glands grand old man has made up to
show that the world is moving onward.
1t is useless to assert, in the presence of
such an array of statistical facts, that we
are behind our ancestors in anything that
constitutes human physical comfort, or
human, mental and moral elevation. Let
us glance over synopsis of the steps of
progress:
Slavery abolished criminal code reform
ed; poor law abuses swept away; mining
and other labor evils lessened; smuggling
stopped by correction of fiscal follies;"
educational advantages extended to the
poor; guaranteed protection for savings;
cheap postage; special tax lifted from the
press, making newspapers cheap; monopo-
lies struck down; franchise extended and
ballot made secret; admission to parlia-
ment freed from property qualification
old universities open to ALL non
conformist church rates put away;
oath not required of those not be-
lieving in it; fewer hours of work,
increased wages and cheaper living; title
of tenant to what he adds to value of
land made good; reduction of expenses of
parliamentary elections and decline in
corruption; women admitted to new pub
lie duties and greater equality under the
laws; elective principle applied to mu-
nici pal corporations; civil service reform
ed; promotion by merit instead of pur-
chase in the army and navy; abolition of
flogSing in the army; press gang abol-
ished; mail rendered inviolate; increased
morality and gentleness; gross and cruel
sports stopped; swearing and duelling dis
countenanced; better dwellings, for the
poor; multiplication of charities; com
merce augmented fve.fold; crime dimin-
ished, etc.

WAGES AND TAXES.

The New York World comments in an
interesting manner upon the figures as to
the relation between wages and taxes,which
were referred to in yesterdays STATES
MAN, from an article of Mr.. Edward Atkiu-
son, in the Century Magazine:
"Wages constitute what is left from the
sale of the results of labor after taxes and
returns of capital have been deducted.
This is point which Mr.. Edward Akin
son fairly establishes by statistics and
argument based thereon in his article on
the Relative Strength and Weakness of
Nations which is to appear in the Febru-
airy number of the Century Magazine. In
formation on the subject is particularly
valuable as showing thatwages in a coun-
try vary inversely with its taxes. II flakes
are high wages will be low, and vice versa
The fact is thus illustrated: Care

FACTS FROM THE JOURNAL.

On tie 10th OF February, 1876, after
the passage OF the bill to relieve rail
roads, under which the Texas Pacific So
cured millions OF acres, that Terrell, Story
McLeary and others attempted to reclaim
for the state, Judge Terrell placed on the
journals of the senate lengthy pro
test, in which occurs the following Ian.
guage;
"There are urgent reasons Why Texas
should no. allow herself 30 be irlhed
with longer by this giant monopoly.
THE claims of the scho,i Ii1ud' dpUn'

half remaining, to compensate for that
quantity granted to the International
railroad company the necessity to utilize

the constitution to erecC new cap

Ing to actual settlers our land, are
considerations that appeal to this leglsla o.
ture to resume control of this large body
OF territory, heretofore reserved to the
Pacific railway. Tho 100000 acres over
and above the half of the public domain,
which the state owes The school fund, the
100000 dedicated TO build new capitol
and the 100000 de Dictated to endow a
university, in all 100000 of acres, must
be found out Of a little over 100000 Of
acres, which is all the state now owns
after setting aside alternate sections for
school purposes. Does not avery consid-
GRAFTON Of our own interest and that OF

INDIsPU TABLE FACTS.

On April 2S, 1876, Judge Terrell intro
duced bill to build a new capitol by sell
ing to the people land certificates in guam
titles of $40 and GAO acres Is. j.. p. 1901
| II was substituted by bill to survey
! 100000 acres of land to be sold to actual
settlers in quantities of 100 acres, and to
others in quantities of GAO acres, which
passed the senate August 8, 1875, by vote
of fifteen to eleven, Judge Terrell voting
for it. Is. T. 1907. That bill failed in
the house and no law was passed that ses-
sion.
Terrell was sworn TO observe constitu-
ton which required 3, 100000 acres ofland
to be appropriated to build capitol IN
some way. He had failed 10 do it in his way
by selling land IN small quantities to the
peop Leland 50 after waiting over two years,
at the session of 1879, he adopted from
necessity the methods of unanimous
senate, as is apparent from the vote, and
voted for law which provided that the
land might be surveyed and snapped to
contractors who would build the house. In
that shape the law was passed-every sen
ator voting for it. Their names are:
Yeas Buchanan, Burnett, Brown, Burton,
Davenport, Duncan, Edwards, Ford, Gooch,
Grace, Guy, Hobby, Houston, Lane, Lair
| 4 Mo(fn oh
Motley, Patton, Ripatoe, Shannon, Story
Swain, Terrell and TIlson. Nays-none
Gov. Roberts, in his inaugural address
of 1879, urged the sale of the land in the
unOrganized c9unties to pay the public
debt and school purposes The whole
public domain could have been covered
under the law, as it was by land certifi
oates then on the market at cost of e
cents an acre. The Panhandle country
then unexplored, was regarded as unti
for agriculture, and was placed on the
market at 30 cents an acre. Terrell at
tempted by amendment to have the price
fixed at one dollar and fifty cents an acre
and failed. Is. j. p. 1881 On July 8, 1879
the bill passed the senate, with only two
dissenting votes-Rippatoe and Stewart
Is. j. p. 1881. Under that act only 3,600,'
600 of nearly 3O,OOO,OOO were sold. When
it was found that corporations were pur-
chasing it, bill was passed to stop the
sale by unanimous vote of the senate,
Terrell voting for it. Is. j. p. 35.)
Such is the record. The capitol will be
the only state property our posterity car
show for wasted domain. # the legis
lature Numbered in placing the fifty cent
lands on the market, Governor Roberts
and nearly every senator was a party to
the mistake. Terrell was among the first
to advocate the stopping of sales when
corporations began to purchase. The
record shows that Judge Terrell was the
only senator who ever attempted to build
new capitol by selling land certificates
to the people for small quantities of land
and yet, he alone is censured when q
unanimous senate required and voted fol-
different policy.

ana 81 is absorbed in taxes. Leaving
profits Of capital out OF the count, earn,
ing per capita Of the population Of tho
United States are $500. OF |h Oh 50 goes
for taxes. IL England earnings are sl7j
per capita, Of which 50 to so goes for
taxes. in France they are $40, and the
tar is GIG to $50. In Germany they are
800. and the taz IS 70 81. In Italy they
are $50, and so to $l2 goes for tax. The

England it j. GA per cent. and wages are
much lower Tho tax in Germany is u

the tax is AZ per cent. and wages yet
lower.
The moral is that in every country labor
has a direct interest in keeping taxes
down TO the lowest reasonable point.
Economy in public Affairs means money
for workingmon. On them falls the cost
Of the standing armies in Europe, and
OIL them falls the expense of
national extravaganza Of all kinds"
No class Of people should Interest
themselves IL questions of taxation as
the laboring class should: because, di'
rectly or indirectly, heavy part of the
burden falls upon them. But the present

their pockets and they can't be very

The most important question that has
demanded the attention Of statesmen in
Texas has been its land policy. Our pub
lie domain was vast wealth, and the judi
oious use Of it would have enabled the
state Of Texas to build every schoolhouse
every Jail, popitontiary, every asylum, and
eleemosinary institutions of every kind for
all time to come, to build roads and free
bridges all over the state, 20 make every
character Of public improvement in the
state Of Texas superior to that of any
other state, TO endow colleges and uni.
yersity, and equip them with superior APP
paratus, if this wealth of domain had
been wisely used. Judge Terrell had the
sagGcity ana foresight 20 comprehend this
fact in he inception of legislation on the
subject and he has pursued a consistent
and economic policy that, if applied by
the state, woulo have made Texas the state
va describe.

OK the 10th of February 1888, Judge
Terrell reported a bill to limit the scope
and powers of private corporations
Senate journal, page 4i). He moved to
amend that bill 80 as to prohibit any cor
poration from owning over $40 acres Of
land in Texas. Senate Journal, page 1917
On motion of another senator, it was
amended SO as TO permit. a corporation
to own $40 acres in each county, and in
that shape it became a law. Senate
